Sunny Watercolor

Morning.

Meet today's card.

I am really trying hard to work outside of my favourite blue colour palette so I chose these colours at the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast this morning.

I began by stamping the flower from STAMPlorations on some scrap paper and cut a mask so I could use it to stamp multiple times. I inked up my stamp with Memento black ink and stamped the first flower in the bottom corner to make that my focal point. Then I covered it with the mask and stamped the flowers on either side.

I used my Brushos to watercolor my flowers by sprinkling some out into a painter's palette (the plastic ones that you can add and mix paint into) and added water. I love using them as I find you can get many shades just by varying the amount of water you use.

I fussy cut out the flowers and using pop dots, mounted it onto my white card front. I stamped the sentiment which is also from STAMPlorations then pierced a border around the edge to add more interest.
